Magdalene laundry asylums

[Coffee Jesus]

The documentary on the Madalene laundries in conservative Catholic Ireland. There have been others elsewhere.




The official report on the abuse that was accepted by the committee against torture: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/cat...land46.pdf
It references the documentary above, but includes anonymous testimonies too.

I have seen the film The Magdalene Sisters which is a dramatic portrayal of what it was like for the inmates of those places. The film can be quite harrowing, nevertheless I highly recommend people to see it.
